The present invention increases the bonding strength between a spoke and a tread ring and/or between a spoke and a hub to improve durability. An airless tire provided with a tread ring, a hub, and a spoke, wherein the spoke is integrally provided with: an outer annular portion of which the outer peripheral surface is bonded to the inner peripheral surface of the tread ring via a first adhesion layer; an inner annular portion of which the inner peripheral surface is bonded to the outer peripheral surface of the hub via a second adhesion layer, and a spoke portion which couples the inner and outer annular portions. The inner peripheral surface of the tread ring and/or the outer peripheral surface of the hub is composed of a roughened surface having a surface roughness (Ra) (arithmetic average roughness) of 3-1000 m or a surface roughness (Rz) (ten-point average roughness) of 30-5000 m.

Described are methods of making a paint roller using thermoplastic strip material, adhesive and a composite cover material. The materials can be assembled in a continuous manufacturing process by helically winding a strip comprising polypropylene around a mandrel so as to form a helically wound strip, advancing the wound strip along the mandrel, applying a molten layer of adhesive comprising polypropylene onto the outer surface of the wound strip, wrapping a strip of composite cover material about the wound strip and over the layer of adhesive, and allowing the adhesive to cool, thereby laminating the composite cover material with the outer surface of the wound strip.

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a pulley device for a tension roller or a roller of a transmission element providing a pulley, at least two rolling-element bearings and a sleeve, the rolling-element bearings being assembled adjacently on the sleeve before the pulley is formed by injecting material onto the rolling-element bearings.

The invention refers to a vehicle rim (1) with a rim body (2) made of fiber composite material, comprising a first subpreform (3) at a first axial end and a third subpreform (5) at the opposite second axial end, wherein a second subpreform (4) is arranged between the first subpreform (3) and the third subpreform (5), wherein the second subpreform (3) engages into a front connecting cavity (6) formed by the first subpreform (3) as well as also into a rear connecting cavity (7) being formed by the third subpreform (5). The invention also refers to a method for the production of a vehicle rim (1) with a rim body (2) made of fiber composite material, wherein an NCF material (19) comprising carbon fibers, glass fibers and/or aramid fibers is created respectively for the formation of a first subpreform (3) for a first axial end of the rim body (2) and of a third subpreform (5) for the opposite axial end of the rim body (2) with a connecting cavity (6, 7), respectively, wherein a second subpreform (4) made of a same or a similar NCF material (19) is inserted into the connecting cavity (6 and/or 7) and is fixed thereat.

A method for making a bicycle rim, having a rim body with at least one integrated cavity . The cavity is enclosed by a component wall. The rim body extends in a rim plane over 360 transverse to its rotational axis.

The cavity forms a chamber in the rim body. A plurality of component walls have two lateral rim flanks, a radial inner rim base and a radial outer rim well, which limit the chamber. A rim body support structure is formed by a fibre structure. A fibre bundle is attached to a carrier layer and passed reciprocally on the carrier layer to form a basic fibre layer of the fibre structure. The fibre structure is draped in a tool mould. A filling unit is placed in the tool mould so that the filling unit keeps the volume free for the cavity and the cavity is surrounded by the component wall.
